Aspen photographer and ski mountaineer Art Burrows will be the featured speaker Tuesday for the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies\u2019 Wild Perspectives series.<\/p>\n

Burrows will present \u201cThe Unknown Path: Exploring the Birth of North American Ski Mountaineering\u201d at 6 p.m. at The Collective in Snowmass Village.<\/p>\n

Burrows will share images and experience from an area of western Canada that many regard as the center of the most historically significant ski mountaineering zone in all of North America.<\/p>\n

His focus will include the Yukon\u2019s Wrangell-St. Elias Mountain, a range larger than all of Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Burrows also will discuss the portion of the Selkirk Mountains within Canada\u2019s Glacier National Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thousand miles south of Logan, one mountainous region between the towns of Gold and Revelstoke (roughly 11 times the size of Colorado\u2019s 23 ski areas combined) welcomes a near-perfect balance of storms, humidity and temperature,\u201d says the promotional material for the presentation.<\/p>\n

Burrows is the co-author of the iconic visual reference \u201cFifty Classic Ski Descents of North America.\u201d<\/p>\n

He began exploring when his mother sent him outdoors at age 5 saying, \u201cGo discover something interesting and tell me about it at lunch.\u201d He said he has been exploring ever since.<\/p>\n
